Louisiana shot 54.5 % from the field and 41.7 (5-12) from the three point line. The Cajuns were 10-15 from the free throw line (67 percent.)

The Cajuns played without all-conference big man Shawn Long, junior college transfer Devonte Walker and reserve center J. J. Davenport, all of whom were held out of the game because of injury or illness. All three are expected to play when the Cajuns open the regular season next Friday against Louisiana College.

The Cajuns had 16 assists against just 12 turnovers on the night. Kasey Shepherd led the way with four assists, while Xavian Rimmer added three. Twelve different players saw action for the Cajuns and all twelve got into the scoring column.

The Cajuns led 39-31 at halftime, but outscored the opposition 48-29 in the second half.
